Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1

...digital cameras out there… the Panasonic Lumix TZ1. Price tag there: about £400. That calmed me down straight away… Although, it never left my mind… So once back in London, I browse the net for reviews about that camera, and prices, and I found it for about £250! Therefore, the Panasonic went up in my list of (unneeded but wanted) list. WHERE DID I BUY IT? *************************** I bought it on shopping4cameras.com, because it was the cheaper ...
...technical data I found on Panasonic website. BATTERY LIFE ******************** Well, I was just astonished. I just charged the battery once fully since I have it! It lasts ages, and you have many options to tweak to save even more power (time your LCD screen stays on etc). It also recharges super quickly, in about 2-3 hours!!! SOUNDS ************* The camera has some sound effects, which can be turned off if wished. There is little sounds when ...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1

...digital cameras was slowing down, Panasonic keeps driving forward. Well i do not own this camera .my Sister owns it and i tried using it and found it very interesting .With a volume of 16 cu. inches, it surpasses the Coolpix S4 (16.6) as the smallest ultra zoom camera. Held before by the Olympus C-770 (26.6) which I also own. Even at full zoom the lens extends out only 0.55" (14 mm). I'd recommend visiting the Panasonic product website as they have ...
...would have been nice if Panasonic had built-in a better video codec, like MPEG4 to keep the file size down. If you're inclined, save the video to your computer and run it through an encoder such as Windows Media Encoder or QuickTime 7. You can shrink down the 20 minute video to ~150 MB without much loss in video quality. Granted this does require a CPU with some horsepower. The tradeoff with the lens design is that it does not have a wide range of ...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1

...this Camera I owned the Panasonic LZ3 so when I accidentally dropped that camera breaking the lens, I knew that I would purchase another Panasonic as I had been in love with my old camera. I know the Panasonics are not all that small and don't fit easily into a woman's pants pocket, but you can't expect such a small size with a 10x optical zoom. I based my decision to buy this camera on the following functions: *10x optical Zoom *Optical Image ...
...a challenge as they rarely hold still, but thanks to O.I.S. I haven't had many blurred photos) *movie recording mode with sound *ability to zoom in and out while filming I use it mostly as a 'point and shoot' and rarely change the settings. But I go to lots of concerts and love the fact that this camera takes quite good pictures in low light situations(with the flash turned off and in 'high sensitivity' mode There are a few things that might ...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1

I've been using this camera for over a year and I love it. I don't have a great track record with cameras - I'm clumsy, I drop them, bash them around. This camera has withstood a LOT of abuse - the robust metal body just takes it. Photo quality is very good, colours come out pretty accurately and the optical image stabiliser works well, although at full zoom image quality is less good (as I would expect, really) Macro photos are again very good, ...
...again, not a problem because with this number of pixels and the lens quality, you can crop in quite successfully. It's not the most petite compact camera in the world, but then again most compacts don't do what this camera will do - it fits in a jeans/jacket pocket easily enough though, and as a result I tend to carry this camera with me at all times. The preset 'programs' on the camera work well and you can usually find one to use for any eventuality. ...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1

...then i would recommend the panasonic lumix range. I purchased this camera at Christmas 2006 and I've found it does everything I wanted it to and more. The screen is a good size, though with the high sensitive images mode on pictures appear sharper than they may actually be, and it's a pocketable, or at least baggable, size itself. The battery life is very good and the charger is compact, lightweight and easily replaceable online (unfortunately i ...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1

After a lot of research I decided to buy this camera a fews months ago and i must say it is the best camera i have ever owned. The are many features on it like Black and White, Sepia, macro setting etc.. but there are also birthday settings where if u have a young child it tells u how old they are in days, months, years Other settings include timers, different shutter speeds and a setting to help stop the blur from wobbly hands. I have had so much ...
...time to use it more! This camera has a brilliant zoom on it and an auto focus allowing all photos to come out very crisp! The only down side to this camera i would say is the size (it wouldn't fit into a normal sized pocket) There is also slight delay on taking the photo which can be a bit of a bummer but if u set the camera to the correct setting that can be resolved quite easily. I would definately recommend this camera to anyone, its quite pricey ...
